안녕하세요 Korean Food!

I rarely eat Korean Food, in fact this is my first time here in Taiwan. We went to one Korean restaurant named 韓八醬 last Saturday in the occasion of farewell dinner for our one and only Malaysian senior (he must be so adorable that we have held this multi-sessions of farewell dinner for him... haha). And after previously I heard the story about the euphoria of JYJ (Korean boyband) Taipei's show ticket-queuing, I became more excited to eat the food.

This restaurant mainly serves Bibimbap with other Korean specialties like Bulgogi, hotpot, and pancake (Jeon?) . Later I found out that the Bibimbap which is served in a stone bowl is called Dolsot Bibimbap (read more about Bibimbap here). They also serve Bibimbap that is not with rice (石鍋拌飯）, but with noodles （石鍋拌烏龍）. There are several kinds of Bibimbap choices: Kimchi （泡菜）, Pork （豬肉）, Seafood （海鮮）, Beef （牛肉）, Kimchi & Pork （泡菜豬肉）, Kimchi & Seafood （泡菜海鮮）, Kimchi & Beef （泡菜牛肉）. And more confusing choices for the sauce! They have 8 kinds of sauces: Korean special, satay, Thai-style, curry, black pepper, sesame, and two others. I recommend you to just choose the Korean special (特調韓醬）since this is a Korean restaurant.

Flying Ace ordered Beef Bibimbap (the rice one) with Korean special sauce. Our group of 6 ordered different kind of rice Bibimbap except one person that ordered seafood hotpot with kimchi soup. We also ordered Korean seafood pancake with cheese for sharing together.

The stone bowl is indeed very hot, so I told Flying Ace to stay away while I was mixing the rice.

For my first experience of eating Bibimbap, it's not bad at all. I like the texture of the crispy vegetable and the crispy rice. I also tried the kimchi soup hotpot, it tastes good. For the pancake I think the cheese doesn't give any significant contribution on the smell or taste, better go for the plain pancake next time. It's once again an overly full dinner for me with the free flow 冬瓜茶 （winter melon tea) and 蛋花湯 (egg soup).

The price of the Bibimbap varies between 90-120 NTD, the Bulgogi is 150 NTD, the hotpot kind is 90 NTD, and the pancake is 100 NTD (+cheese +20NTD).
